Bickleigh Castle

Exceptional

Liked: Bickleigh Castle is the perfect retreat for a relaxing break. Absolutely stunning historic buildings and gardens ,cannot wait to return to this enchanting and peaceful hidden gem. Sarah, Wendy & Katy and all the staff were very welcoming.

Delightful venue. Not for those...

Liked: Venue.
Disliked: The steep steps. Though this was in keeping with the property.

Quiet location with a castle!

Liked: Great continental breakfast. Hostess was wonderful. Nice quiet country setting. Awesome to be next to an old castle and getting the opportunity to tour it!

A unique and quirky place,...

Liked: A unique private hotel with the very friendly owner running things. Nice to stay somewhere that wasn't a chain, rare to see these days. Continental breakfast provided with plenty of choices and warm croissants given.

Exceptional

Quaint rustic property.

Liked: Very rustic property, listed. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was fine. Amenities in room ok. Breakfast was fine.
Disliked: A bit rundown all round. Wifi was terrible. The owner said it was fine last week and that she would get a technician in. If WiFi is very important to you, then check with the owner before booking.

Excellent hostess.

Liked: Nice comfortable accommodation. Excellent hostess. Within 10 mins walk of a pub.
Disliked: Nowt.

Unique, special and superb customer...

Liked: The staff were superb. Relaxed, welcoming and made you feel like family. The owner, Sarah, especially. If you’re wanting a shiny, modern, high tech hotel don’t come here. However if you want a unique old castle, exceptional customer service and beautiful surroundings you will be hard pushed to find better than this lovely place.
Disliked: I didn’t like the fact that I could only stay for 1 night, not their fault, mine.

Avoid if you are after...

Liked: Nice quiet location.
Disliked: They are very short staffed which makes it tricky when fully booked. The host seemed frustrated that a large number of guests came down for breakfast at the same time. We did not get our drinks order taken and had to chase it up. There is also a 1 hour window to have breakfast which is not ideal as many people travel for leisure and would appreciate not feeling rushed.The rooms could have been cleaner, there were stains on the bathroom floor and the bath very old and slippery (an accident waiting to happen).Did not feel welcome in this place, felt like i was actively ignored by the older lady host and would stay somewhere else if ever in Tiverton again.
